This Privacy Policy is incorporated into and forms a part of our Terms of Use which is a legally binding agreement between you and us regarding your use of the Website and our services. It is important that visitors are fully informed about the use of their Personal Information. We believe in 100% permission-based marketing.

This Privacy Policy is intended to explain our privacy practices and inform you as to:

• The kinds of Personal Information we collect from users of the Website and how that information is collected;
• How we use your Personal Information;
• The circumstances under which we disclose Personal Information to third parties;

Information Collected by Qwikker™

For purposes of this Privacy Policy , “Personal Information” means any information which you provide to us to a non-public area or section of the Website by which you can be personally identified, and may include your first/middle initial or name and last name, street address, town or city, state, zip code, telephone number, instant-messenger nickname, blog or other personal website URL, date of birth, e-mail address and any other information. Qwikker™ collects Personal Information about you only when you submit it to us, such as when subscribing to an e-mail newsletter, requesting information, submitting a question, responding to a survey, or making suggestions or comments.

Besides Personal Information, when you access the Website our web servers may automatically recognize and collect information regarding your referring domain, your type of internet browser, operating system software, screen resolution, cookie preferences and similar technical data. None of this information is personally identifiable and we use this information only in the aggregate, to measure overall Website usage patterns and trends.

Accuracy and Confidentiality

It is your responsibility to give us current, complete, truthful and accurate information and to keep the Personal Information that you provide to us up to date. We cannot and will not be responsible for any problems or liability that may arise if you do not give us accurate, truthful or complete information or you fail to update the information you give us.

You are solely responsible for maintaining the strict confidentiality of your user name and password, if applicable, and for any charges, costs, expenses, damages, liabilities and losses we incur or may suffer as a result of your failure to do so. You, and not us, are solely responsible and liable for your activity, behavior, use and conduct on the Website and for any use of the Website or any other activity or conduct in connection with the Website, by any others who use your user name or password, unless and until you notify us that your user name or password may have been compromised, misappropriated or improperly taken or used by another party.

Cookies and Web Beacons

We may use a technology called “cookies” to provide you with tailored information. A cookie is a small piece of data that the Website can send to your browser, which may then be stored on your hard drive so our Website can recognize you as you browse the Website and when you return. These cookies may collect the operating system and browser that you are using, and accumulate and report anonymous, statistical information on Website usage (“Aggregate Data”). The use of cookies shows how our customers navigate through our Website and thus allows us to make our Website more responsive to your needs, by delivering a better and more personalized experience to you. We do not use cookies to identify or track any Personal Information. If you do not wish to have a cookie sent to your browser, you can change the settings on your internet browser to stop it from automatically accepting cookies. While rejecting a cookie will not normally affect your browsing or your ability to access the features on our Website, you may be required to re-enter certain information when you browse or when you return to the Site. If you are experiencing trouble browsing our site, it is possible that you did not accept or have configured your browser to block cookies from the Website.

We also may use electronic image requests (also called “web beacons” or “single-pixel gifs”) to count page views and to access cookies. The web beacons do not collect, gather, monitor or share any Personal Information; they are used only to compile anonymous information about Website usage.
